By: the Almanac section of your June 16-22 issue, Rep. Phyllis Kahn is credited with noting that the [future] "8th Ward has no councilmember, while two councilmembers live in the future 6th." Here she is wrong on two counts: 1. I continue to represent the 8th

the Almanac section of your June 16-22 issue, Rep. Phyllis Kahn is credited with noting that the [future] "8th Ward has no councilmember, while two councilmembers live in the future 6th." Here she is wrong on two counts: 1. I continue to represent the 8th

Almanac also states that \"Kahn thinks some areas effectively have no representation as their representatives eye the distant future.\" I do plan on running for the 6th Ward council seat in 2005, but I don\'t think of two years as the \"distant future\" - especially in governmental matters. I have sworn an oath to represent the 8th Ward to the best of my abilities, and I take that very seriously. I believe the best way to prepare for my run for 6th Ward seat in 2005 is by working hard and doing my best in my current, beloved ward.

Editor\'s note: I, not Rep. Kahn, deserve the rap on the knuckles for the ward confusion. Kahn said that some 2005 wards had two current councilmembers; in paraphrasing her observation, I specified the wrong wards. My apologies to readers and elected officials.
